Center-Based Programs
TRF offers full-day center-based ECE programs for children from birth to 12 years. TRF uses the Creative Curriculum, which focuses on the individual needs of each child and supports all areas of development—language, cognitive, social emotional, physical and creative. Developmental milestones are measured using screenings, ongoing assessments and authentic observations. Our School-Age Programs provide recreational and educational components, which support children in primary education, reinforcing classroom instruction. Our programs includes providing children with balanced meals daily.

Education
TRF classrooms provide nurturing spaces that support the development of infants, toddler and preschool-aged children. Our School-Age Programs support classroom education through Academic and Developmental Activities both after-school and during our Full-Day Summer Camp Programs.
